Website Detail Page

This web site contains a large number of tutorials based on Physlets, Physics Java Applets. Each tutorial contains a java simulation and materials describing both the physics being displayed and the simulation. In most cases, the simulations can be modified to change parameters of the problem or the information displayed.

The topics covered include the standard material in a two-semester introductory physics course, as well as some examples from relativity, quantum physics, and more advanced Classical Mechanics. The author provides instructions and tools for downloading and updating the tutorials.
